Life at NIT MEGHALAYA

The college is good. But as it is in the temporary campus there are lots of hardships. But the faculties are good and they help as much as they can. But labs are small so not an ideal place to come for research works.

Course is good and almost same as other NIT's and IIT's. The syllabus is helpful for GATE and NET exams. The course exam pattern is one mid term one end term and two class test per semester in most of the theory papers

The placement cell is good of this institute. Despite having a permanent campus the ranking of this NIT is going up as the placement are good after course completion. At the same time they encourage to take internship during summer and winter vacation. The project student usually gets 20000 per month if not NET/GATE qualified

There are two main events that our college celebrates. The cognitia and the shishir. Congitia is the tech fest of the institute. There are various events that are hosted in this fest like robotics gaming etc. Shishir is the music fest. Of course being an NIT it organized various events like science day, rastravasha divas, dikshyant samaroh, women's day etc

Fee are around 1 lac per semester for btech and 40000 per semester for Masters in basic science. It includes hostel dues transportation exam fee everything. The fee are actually high but it is the same in most of the NIT's as well.

For economically poor and educationally sound student there are relaxation in fees. Also caste based relaxation are at place as well. ST/SC Student don't have to pay the instute tution fees And also top 5 student of each batch get a scholarship as well.

Institute encourage extracurricular activities. There are various competitions held in the institute. Starting from sports to literature to cultural there are various activities organized in the institute. It also actively participate in inter NIT competitions as well.

Hostel mess dues is 16000. Seat rent is 5000. The overall fee for hostel per semester is around 23000. But at the end of the semester students get refund for their mess advance of around 3000-4000. The facility are good in hostel. Transportation is done by institute. And there are facilities for hot water, sports, gym etc.

I have not experienced it much till now. There is an allumni association. But have not attended any of their meetings till now. But the seniors are quite helpful. Also the instute is ragging free. The environment of the institute is worth living.

Faculty are of good quality.. but at the same time as this NIT is in a temporary campus so number of faculty is too less. Specially in basic science programs such as M.Sc in physics chemistry and mathematics the number of faculty per dept is around 5-6 which is too less
